Dear,
I have an NVIDIA 1080ti video card .I need change resolution and refresh rate in ubuntu16.04.
I’ve tried three ways to configure ：
None of the above three methods succeeded. Please , How should I configure it?
thanks
On dfp monitors, only edid provided modes are allowed unless you use overrides.
What’s your use case for this?
Please post the output of
xrandr --verbose
Hi， generix:
Here are my detailed steps :

Your monitor does not announce that it supports that mode or 30Hz at all so the mode is rejected. If you’re sure your monitor supports this, you can use overrides, AllowNonEDIDModes, NoVertRefreshCheck and possibly more.
[url]https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/384.98/README/xconfigoptions.html[/url]
Keep in mind that those checks are there for safety reasons, overriding them mindlessly to set invalid modes can harm your monitor.
thanks, generix,
In fact, I install dual system of win10+Ubuntu16.04 on my PC. The same monitor can be configured with a refresh rate of 30Hz in the win10 system environment. So I think this monitor should supports this.
Ok, then you’ll have to override the mode checks. You can specify that mode in xorg.conf and also use
Option “ModeDebug” “true”
then the driver will tell in the xorg logs why the mode is rejected so you’ll know which checks to override.
The Windows drivers had those checks disabled after WinXP, AFAIK.
Hi, generix:
First, the contents of the original xorg.conf file are as follows:

After reading the document about X server, I made the following modifications:

However, the above operation did not bring a surprise. After the reboot, xorg.conf was restored as original file.
Ples use kernel parameter
nogpumanager
to prevent overwriting xorg.conf.
